Why the study?
Does female sex increase the risk of 1-year all-cause rehospitalization in patients after acute myocardial infarction compared to male sex?
Does female sex increase the risk of 1-year all-cause rehospitalization in patients after acute myocardial infarction compared to male sex?
Women experience a higher risk of 1-year rehospitalization after AMI compared to men, partly driven by poorer baseline health and psychosocial factors.
Higher rehospitalization risk in women after AMI attenuated by health and psychosocial factors; leaves open targeted interventions in prospective studies.
Regardless of age, women have a higher risk of rehospitalization compared with men over the first year after AMI. Although the increased risk persisted after adjustment for clinical factors, the poorer health and psychosocial state of women attenuated the difference.
